Title: Gábor B Scharioth: Innovator in Intraocular Lens Technology
Introduction: Gábor B Scharioth is an inventor based in Recklinghausen, Germany. He is associated with Medicontur Holding Ltd., where he contributes to advancements in ophthalmic technology. Although he currently holds no granted patents, his work in the field of intraocular lenses is noteworthy.
Latest Patent Applications: One of his significant patent applications is for a Secondary Intraocular Lens with Magnifying Coaxial Optical Portion. This innovative design involves a secondary foldable intraocular lens (IOL) that is surgically implanted in addition to at least one primary IOL in a patient's pseudo-phakic eye. The secondary IOL is arranged optically coaxial to the primary IOL, focusing a combined image onto the retina of the patient's eye while additionally magnifying at least a central part of the image projected onto the macula of the retina. The secondary IOL comprises one or more haptics for fixing and stabilizing it within the sulcus ciliaris of the patient's eye, along with an optically active portion designed to project the image through the primary IOL onto the retina. The optically active portion of the secondary IOL includes a central optical portion and a peripheral optical portion, forming two different but coaxially positioned lenses from one block. The central optical portion is designed to form a positive lens providing additional refraction of a minimum of 5D, up to a maximum of 25D, to the refraction provided by the peripheral optical portion of the secondary IOL.
Conclusion: Gábor B Scharioth's contributions to the field of intraocular lenses demonstrate his commitment to innovation in ophthalmic technology. His work has the potential to enhance the quality of vision for patients undergoing lens implantation.
